Home Gallery

Kondas Center primarily focuses on naive and "outsider" art. The museum was opened in 2003 in a late 19th century rectory building. We have a permanent exhibition of Estonia's most famous naive painter Paul Kondas - who lived in Viljandi most of his life. Kondas' most well-known painting is "Strawberry Eaters", hence one may find large concrete strawberries allover the streets of Viljandi. We do some 30 temporary exhibitions yearly, half of them are by self-taught artists and the other half by professional artists.

Gallery pART is located in the Poltsamaa Castle complex. It is an unheated extreme gallery built in a loft, and as we all know: ART is not afraid of the cold. There is a new exhibition of professional art in Gallery pART every month. Useful information: The gallery consists of two parts and has 200 square metres of space in total. Gallery pART was established by members of the Art Society.
